I was kindly gifted their latest cookbook, and I must say, all the recipes are incredibly delicious!!

CHOCCY BOX BROWNIES 🍫

SAVE this recipe for all that leftover chocolate after the big day! 🎄

INGREDIENTS:

150 g of dark chocolate
160g of salted butter
3 large eggs
1 tsp of vanilla extract
260g of light brown sugar
50g of plain flour/gf plain flour
40 g of cocoa powder
½ tsp of baking powder
80 g of ground almonds
A handful of chocolate box sweets

👩🏻‍🍳 METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 180C. Line your brownie tin with greaseproof paper, set aside.

Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a bowl over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave in bursts. Stir and leave to cool slightly.
Once the chocolate and butter mixture has cooled slightly, then add in the vanilla extract, sugar, and eggs and mix together using a whisk.

When the chocolate is thoroughly mixed in, sieve the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder over the mixture, and then add the ground almonds. Fold into the mix gently, in a figure of eight. This will help to keep the air in.

Pour the mixture into your lined baking tray.

Arrange the chocolates on top of the brownie mix evenly, so there is 1 piece per portion of brownie. Push the chocolate into the mixture slightly. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Take out of the oven and leave to cool in the tray. Dust with a little icing sugar and serve right away. Enjoy!

CHRISTMAS COOKIES - RECIPE

Ingredients:

200g of unsalted butter
50g of dark brown sugar
100g of light brown sugar or coconut sugar
1 large egg and 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp of ground ginger
250g of gluten free/ regular plain four
1 teaspoon of cornflour
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon of smoked sea salt
2 tablespoons of almond milk
150g of caramelised white chocolate, chopped up
120g of cranberries
Icing sugar, to decorate

Method:

Melt the butter over medium heat and stir or whisk constantly. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam. Keep stirring/whisking. After 5-7 minutes, the butter will begin browning and you’ll notice lightly browned specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan. It will have a nutty aroma. Once browned, remove from heat immediately and pour into dish to cool down completely.

Once cooled, add the brown butter into a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer). Using a silicone spatula or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the chilled brown butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.

Add the sugars and beat on medium high speed until light in colour and combined, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract on a high speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

CHEATS CHRISTMAS DAY CRUNCHY POTATOES 🥔

If like me you have limited oven space but want to do your Christmas feast justice, then look no further than my cheats Christmas Day Crunchy Potatoes!

They’re the real deal folks, soft and fluffy on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and full of flavour and seasonings. Only a couple of things that need to be adhered to such as Maris Piper potatoes being a must and for your oil in the skillet/pan to be hot hot hot for that crunch otherwise it will never be achieved.

🎄 Ingredients:

1kg of Maris piper potatoes, parboiled in salted water
100ml of coconut oil or vegetable oil
1-2 tsp of sea salt flakes
1 tsp of sage powder
1/2 tsp of turmeric powder
1/2 tsp of black pepper
1/2 tsp of Aleppo chilli flakes (optional)

Method:

As soon as your potatoes are par boiled, drain and leave to cool for no more than 5 minutes.
In a very large skillet or pan, heat your chosen oil until piping hot.

Peel the potatoes roughly and chop them into roast potato chunks on the diagonal to give more surface area.

Once the pan is hot, add in your potatoes carefully and season with all your spices. Turn the heat down to medium and turn the potatoes after 5 minutes, or you see the edges turning golden brown and crispy.

The whole process should take around 25-30 minutes, season for taste and serve with your roast and other sides, garnish with extra sea salt flakes and chilli flakes, if using. Heaven.

Bakewell Blondie - THE cosy autumnal bake 🍂 🍁

Jammy, rich, fudgy and bursting with almonds, this Bakewell blondie is the perfect fusion bake we say!

👩🏻‍🍳 Ingredients:

250 g of unsalted butter (melted)

125 g of light musavado sugar

125 g of light brown sugar

3 medium eggs

1 tsp of organic almond extract

100 g of ground almonds

200 g of gf plain flour

1 tbsp of cornflour

200 g white chocolate chips

250 g of raspberry jam/cherry jam

50 g of flaked almonds

Icing sugar, for dusting

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan and line a tin with greaseproof paper.

In a large bowl, add your melted butter and sugars and beat until smooth. Add in the eggs and organic almond extract and beat again until smooth.

Add in the flour, ground almonds and cornflour and beat until a thick blondie mixture is made which at this stage will take minutes! Finally, add in your white chocolate chips and fold through.

Next, pour the mixture into the tin, dollop on the jam, and lightly swirl through the blondie mixture but don't over swirl. Sprinkle over the flaked almonds and bake the blondies in the oven for 30 minutes.

Leave the blondies to cool in the tin until cool and serve right away OR put them in the fridge for an hour or so once they have cooled to create a lovely fudgy texture! Finish off with a liberal dusting of icing sugar. ENJOY!
